Alice in Wonderland Make-up

Last night I finally got to delve into the fantastical world of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (3D no less). It was truly a feast for the eyes. And the make-up, oh the make-up!!!

Johnny Depp's the Mad Hatter was definitely over the top, but his character's make-up had a little bit of a 'put together by a committee' feel. It was almost a bit much (which I know is Tim Burton's style), but it lacked a cohesive feel.

I love me some Anne Hathoway. She's smart & talented. Her White Queen was fluffy & frilly & fabulous. The interesting decision was the make-up artist using bold brows & vibrant lips. My interpretation would have been softer- have everything glisten & glimmer & reflect the goodness of the character. The Brow Whisperer in me also wanted to fix her right brow in the movie(I'm telling you it's not just my job- it's my obsession!)

What was perfection? Helena Bonham Carter's Queen of Hearts. It was amazing to see the transformation. Her brows were covered with spirit gum & redrawn higher. Her hairline was brought up as well. What they were able to create visually with her character was a true testament to the talent of make-up artistry. Though the actual story was a little bland, I still feel it is definitely worth seeing in 3D just for the special effects- if that's your cup of tea!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

As an esthetician I'm a huge fan of blotting papers! These super cute cases also house a mirror & make a rather mundane experience instantly whimsical & glamorous. For us gals with oily skin, you don't want to keep applying powders to control shine. That can lead to your make-up looking cakey and possibly cause break outs!

The lip treatment sticks are extremely sheer, but pack a serious punch when it comes to moisture. They leave a soft veil of protection that's infused with organic olive oil, apricot oil, and jojoba oil. These gorgeous kits will roll out on our online store PeaceLoveLipgloss ,the same day Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland rolls out into theaters- March 5th! Make sure you grab them while you can, since when they're gone, there's no 'Drink Me' magic potion to bring them back!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
